Profile

Company Vision
“To be widely recognised by our patients, referring specialists and other health care providers as a leading Podiatry practice in NSW. Expanding our knowledge, consistently growing value to our patients through a constant focus on quality improvement in everything we do.” To help the podiatry profession retain its profile as it should, as the primary foot carer in the community.

Mission Statement
“Our aim is to focus on the simplest and most effective treatments that we know will solve foot problems. To treat all patients equally in clinical treatment regardless of client status.” As Podiatrists we are registered health care practitioners who diagnose and treat disorders of the human foot and leg.

Sterilisation of instruments
The practice is fully compliant with instrument sterilisation for the year 2000 and beyond. Our office uses a steam steriliser carrying the Australian Standards Mark AS 2182. This is further enhanced with a performance recorder which logs – sterilisation dates, times and temperatures of all cycles and stores electronic records of our steriliser’s performance. The steriliser is calibrated electronically every 12 months. We are satisfied that all sets of instruments have complete sterilisation for each patient as all sets are packaged and sealed individually in our rooms.
